The Bears made the Sooners smallest betting favorites of the season at the time as 10.5-point favorites, and that fact has since been reset for the Big 12 Championship.

Matt Rhule and the Bears have gotten stronger the two games since, dominating both Texas (24-10, but was 24-3 before a late Texas touchdown) and Kansas (61-6). Baylor is a threat to Oklahoma’s College Football Playoff hopes with a disruptive, physical defense and a more often than not reliable offense.
